Hardware is a general term that refers to the physical artifacts of a technology. The term artifact means an object produced or shaped by human craft, especially a tool, weapon, or ornament of archaeological or historical interest.

Computer and Automated Machinery

Hardware is a general term that refers to the physical components of technology. This applies to any physical part (device) of a computer, such as the CPU, monitor, hard drives, and so forth. This is compared to software, which consists of the operational programs that run on the system. Hardware is anything that can be physically handled, and software is anything that cannot be physically handled, although you may handle the CD, media, or drives on which it is written.
